Ottawa Emergency Services League
Ottawa Emergency Services League (OESL)
The Ottawa Emergency Services League (OESL) is a co-ed charity soccer league created for frontline emergency service members and their families, friends, and supporters.
Hosted in partnership with Ottawa Footy Sevens, the league brings together police, fire, paramedics, corrections, healthcare, and other frontline professionals in a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment. More than just competition, OESL is about:
Building wellness and resilience
Strengthening connections across services
Promoting teamwork and camaraderie
Giving back to the community
All league proceeds support youth and community programs through the National Capital Blues Foundation, helping fund initiatives focused on leadership, education, and opportunity for at-risk youth.
OESL is open to players of all skill levels and emphasizes respect, sportsmanship, and positive community impact — on and off the field.
Play-Connect-Give Back.
Our impact
Through league participation, fundraising, and community partnerships, OESL helps support youth and families facing financial and social challenges. Proceeds from the league directly contribute to programs that promote education, wellness, and leadership development.
Our success is driven by the dedication of our players, volunteers, and supporters who believe in sport as a tool for positive change.
Our Partnerships
